Why replace #ColumbusDay with #IndigenousPeoplesDay? Activists have long argued that holidays, statues, and other memorials to Columbus sanitize his actions and give him credit for “discovering” a place where people already lived. histv.co/2QBLWLH

I have taught every grade 7-12, im in the midst of my fourth year as a middle school teacher. I honestly am excited to teach any grade, but could not imagine not working with 7th graders! They make me a better teacher!

politico.com/magazine/story… Just really read into this issue in Myanmar. Amazing I'd barely heard about it until now. I always wonder why it takes countries so long to declare what are clear human rights violations as such and use the term genocide. This is awful. #sschat #myanmar

Many activists and politicians invoke the phrase because they see startling parallels with the first #GildedAge, the period from roughly 1870 to 1900 marked by increased poverty, rising inequality and growing concern about corporate influence in politics. histv.co/2Mungm5
